I'd like to have one; but the price was a bit out of my budget. maybe the second statistic is about volume, not acreage? Cory Doctorow's "I, Rowboat" future world AIs cutely used wikis in order to understand their meaning and sentience in their universe. I bet you could write a wiki about Elvis in this manner. ----- Original Message ----- From: "marika" Newsgroups: alt.fan.elvis-costello,alt.usenet.legends.lester-mosley Sent: Tuesday, December 25, 2007 11:13 AM Subject: big come Have you read Cory Doctorow's "Overclocked" It contains 2 short stories, "I Robot" and "I, Rowboat" the second of which is the evolution of some AI and the life and career of a rowboat, whose physical appearance or attraction quotient is unknown It would certainly be interesting to have that boat painted by J Turner self immolating which is sort of what it did at the end when it went to heaven or hell or the great afterlife mk5000 ----- Original Message ----- From: "marika" Newsgroups: soc.culture.europe,soc.culture.usa,soc.culture.jap an,soc.culture.australian,alt.usenet.legends.leste r-mosley Sent: Tuesday, December 25, 2007 11:02 AM Subject: INTERNATIONAL STUFF - Iowa Primaries | Leadership | Darfur | Cirque De Demain | Lyrics "Frank Kalder" wrote in message ...

Iowa Primaries Battle in the Corn Fields By Klaus Brinkbäumer in Iowa The United States is a country that likes to explain democracy to other nations. It is also a country that starts wars to bring democracy to the world. It allows the candidates for its highest office, the presidency, to spend a year and a half campaigning, leaving no stone unturned as it delves into their past. Its political mood is gauged on a daily basis by anywhere from 10 to 20 opinion polls... Dec 24, http://www.spiegel.de/international/...525230,00.html I don't know it sounds pretty fabulous to me . Leadership In the meantime, the experiment with the word leader is interesting. Another thing that the word Fuhrer connotes to a lot of Americans the concept of genetic experimentation. Whenever you hear USians talk about genetic improvement in that era, it's always with a sense of disgust. Every once in a while though you hear about USians donating eggs and sperm of either people with high IQs or perceived as attractive, such as fashion models. But the thought that goes behind that type of genetic improvement is often glossed over. Very ironic. Altogether the subjects are touchy. . Darfur Watched a very interesting documentary about Darfur and this shows that USians are still turning their heads away from slaughter while ironically trying to fix countries where there is more oil or otherwise that are strategically important. Humans are so confusing. Indeed. Same is true for EUsians and the ROW. I'm off to the art museum today. __ "Clouds so swift Rain won't lift Gate won't close Railings froze Get your mind off wintertime" --dylan, you ain't goin nowhere . BAMBI 2007 Here's a slide show (41 photos): www.bunte.de/szene/bambi-2007_did_1183.html [...] I seem to recognize the names Sabine, Pooth I LOVE Armin Mueller Stahl . The Long Run (2000) Nice Movie: http://imdb.com/title/tt0218411 (amongst others I have seen that he has made, but first time for this one) Ah, thanks for this hint (~must-watch list). It's apparently an African-European issue. Btw, I just received today an e-mail from my relatives in Cape Town. I replied immediately (while my yesterday's seasons greetings didn't get though, apparently cos of an e-address change). __ "This sweater is Ralph Lauren, and I have no pants." -- Barry B. Benson: Bee Movie . Transatlantic Daily Update: http://haplifnet.blogspot.com/2007/1...update_24.html . Cirque De Demain http://www.cirquededemain.com I watched this yesterday. Winner (gold) was a French-Canadian couple with an extremely sexy acrobatic dance show. Mongol girls (China) got silver; and another Chinese show (little boys and adults) bronze. There were several silver and bronze medals for other contestants, in addition. There was also a very unique (young) Ukrainian artist with a special discipline (using a pole) which, they said, the Ukraine is world- famous for. Forgot the term. Couldn't find it in the net, though, unfortunately. Curiously, the website says it's closed for the holidays. I assume this is the same event that we sometimes see at the olympics, perhaps not. This sounds nice but I will have to try it again tomorrow . Xmas - Baltimore & Berlin I've discovered a German (...Matt) in MD. http://bb.focus.de/focus/viewtopic.p...light=#1237236 The comment underneath (by Cane...) describes a German Xmas eve in Berlin. Apparently she's got two kiddies (~fashion showing), a husband, dogs, and a cat. . Lyrics The ex-moderator Phi (of Felix Austria) is a hobby poet. Many lyrics are available from him, e.g., Weihnachtswahnsinn (Xmas weirdness). http://bb.focus.de/focus/viewtopic.p...light=#1235916 I made a small rhyme (4 lines)* for him, yesterday: http://bb.focus.de/focus/viewtopic.p...light=#1237196 It includes a link to a benchmark thread (with poll) which I had initiated recently. __ * Phonetics: the "i" (ich) sounds like an "e" such as in "imagination". The _'n_ means "ein" or, in this case, "einen". It's pronounced like the English "an" (like in "another"). If I wrote in Austrian slang "an" it would then mean "to" (for regular German readers). I don't get it. Did you write the part about dear readers we want to ask you a few questions? Bcause that's all the link shows. When I click on the button, it just brings me back to that same screen? I ended up going to the National Gallery which is full of classics. Lots of Dutch painters. Not much I can say that the pictures won't say for themselves. We visited 2 in particular http://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/turnerinfo.shtm http://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/hopperinfo.shtm Hopper's work is seen from time to time in ads. It's pretty recognizable. mk5000 "Liz Lemon: Why are you wearing a tux? Jack: It's after 6 o'clock Lemons. What am I, a farmer? "--50 Rock |
